Chapter 934 Ten Calamities

Day after day of war.

Xu Yang was in the southwestern part of Xintai Xizhou, on the outskirts of Phoenix City, observing the frontline situation.

There are enough data centers for him to work in, and the environment is secluded, with a river in the distance. Xu Cheng went to deliver the goods, and Laila followed closely. Xu Yang was the only one left here, and he could coordinate the actions of all the troops.

The situation has changed.

In the past two months, they have assembled troops from all directions to attack, and they have been very effective. It is almost like trapping the core of the lighthouse in a pocket, and they can wrap the net like dumplings, and defeat these last enemies together.

But things got weird.

He frowned. In the past week, the prediction of the battle has become meaningless. All the military reports are very different from the original expected results. It seems that there is a certain variable in the battle, which leads to the failure of their logic and simulation.

On each front, the coalition forces in the Eastern Hemisphere have been reversed and counterattacked again and again.

Xu Yang switched to the battlefield video to observe the actual report.

Yesterday, with Nisto's troops as the main force, they launched an attack on the central prairie at the core of the lighthouse.

I thought I could easily crush the demoralized enemies, but they resolutely counterattacked.

To make matters worse, one of the flanking fronts suddenly collapsed, causing the entire army to be besieged. Although they were lucky enough to withdraw to avoid annihilation, this was still the biggest loss since the start of the war.

Judging from the tactical report, the pale legion at the core of the lighthouse poured in from a glaring gap in the defense line.

Although that line of defense is not dangerous to defend, there is a brigade of more than 4,000 people and more than 3,000 war machines of Nisto Company stationed there. Even if it is attacked fiercely, it should be able to persist for several days.

Quite the opposite, it crashed within an hour.

The defenders were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic and violent offensive of the lighthouse core, which completely did not conform to Nestor's tactical expectations.

Enemies shout the name of the holy, and even if they die in battle, they can be resurrected by the ubiquitous angels.

More angels went into battle, more chaplains went into battle, consecrating soldiers' bullets, and the simplest shot could blast golden holes in Nestor's heavy, expensive bipedal robots.

Every advance of the Allied Forces in the Eastern Hemisphere will be defended by the enemy, and every confrontation will cause casualties beyond expectations.

Many second-line troops were exhausted from high-intensity attacks in defensive battles. Once they retreated, the flanks of the main force were completely exposed to enemy fire, causing the entire defense line to retreat.

Every simple battle of annihilation has turned into a grueling war of attrition. After every bloody skirmish, the troops must stop and take a good rest.

Is it the oracles of Dirnai? Xu Yang thought about it. Otherwise it doesn't make sense at all.

In just a few days, the originally fragmented core army of the lighthouse regained incredible cohesion and determination.

In the past, only about 30% to 45% of the core soldiers of the lighthouse believed in Dirnai, but now the proportion may reach 90% to 99%.

Could it be that our attack is in the hands of Di Ernai, allowing her to take the opportunity to greatly expand her influence?

He glanced at the shocking strategic map. Red represents all losses, disadvantages, and areas that are being contested. Now the siege of Xintaixizhou is red across the board.

The core of the lighthouse is regaining lost ground inch by inch.

The daily casualties and equipment loss are astronomical figures. Every place in Xintai Xizhou needs guns, the main force needs them, and the garrison army responsible for suppressing the city also needs them. The logistics can only be supplemented by the Isthmus of Anchorage and a small number of portal sites. Many frontline troops have stopped advancing due to lack of ammunition and fuel.

These data are a kind of torture to the human spirit, but fortunately Xu Yang is determined enough to be tenacious. It is often said that Daoci does not command soldiers, and this statement is true.

We need to give our weary troops a rest. Xu Yang pondered.

At this moment, he heard the sound of the shuttle landing, and a lone figure escorted by security personnel stepped out of it.

Who will come to me at this time? Xu Yang turned around in trouble, then stood where he was, his eyes were surprised.

Lu Jing.

She walked towards Xu Yang under the escort of the soldiers, stopped in front of him, and put her hands in the pockets of her neutral gray suit.

Her eyes stared at Xu Yang's eyes, her eyes were dark, calm and patient, as if she wanted to get answers from Xu Yang's eyes, looking for her missing memory.

Finally, Lu Jing showed a faint, frustrated smile: "Hello."

"Hello—Miss Lu." Xu Yang stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lu Jing.

For some reason, he felt a little weird, as if his relationship with Lu Jing should have been closer than it is now.

"I'm sorry to bother you." Lu Jing stood where he was.

Her cheeks are still youthful, just a little tired from the work she's been doing.

Lu Sizhou was carrying his bag about 15 steps away, looking around keenly.

"No, I just...need to focus, but we can study together." Xu Yang invited Lu Jing to his cluster strategy terminal.

Tianshu Zhiwu's army is the absolute main force in the current battles. Lu Jing's opinion is very important. She is the supreme commander of Xia's army.

Lu Jing glanced at the strategic diagram. She is a well-planned enterprise leader who knows the situation on the front line like the palm of his hand. It can be said that she is no worse than those senior commanders, but she rarely directly intervenes on the front line.

Her vision traced the numbers on the screen, and her flexible mind began to analyze the data habitually.

Xu Yang looked at her. Lu Jing was reticent, honest and full of ideas. Not only could she manage a huge company well, but she could also provide wise advice in this war. Xu Yang knew that she had always been able to deduce complex human nature, soothe frustrated emotions, and build unbreakable friendship.

Maybe she and herself once had a friendship, but we all forgot, too far away. Xu Yang was thinking silently. Lu Jing's profile is exquisite and elegant, like a precious jade.

"Our troops have exceeded the supply limit." Lu Jing left her opinion on the strategy terminal, which coincided with Xu Yang's judgment.

"Yes, we have to shrink the front line and retreat temporarily, otherwise our troops will become very vulnerable. We have to rely on the existing terrain to build a defense line, and restore the production capacity of the industrial bases we have laid down, and use the lighthouse core to build our own factories. Guns to defeat themselves." Xu Yang judged.

"Here?" Lu Jing's hand slid across the map of Xintaixizhou, establishing a connection between the mountains and the big river, calmly grasping the distance between the transportation line and the strategic fulcrum, and preserving the vitality to the maximum.

"Here." Xu Yang stood on the same side as Lu Jing

He stretched out his hand to the map, lightly covered Lu Jing's right hand, and crossed the same position.

Lu Jing felt how Xu Yang's fingers were wrapped around hers, her eyes widened slightly, and a faint color appeared on her cheeks.

She didn't withdraw her hand from Xu Yang's, nor did she retreat.

"We should be able to solve all this." Lu Jing said slowly.

"After that?" Xu Yang asked.

"Maybe you can move back to Xia Lai." Lu Jing said out of his mind.

She didn't know why she said that, was it because she wanted to recruit Xu Yang and get his full support? Or is it because she wants to regain the memory of the lost time with Xu Yang? However, what she wants may be just a hug and a kiss.

"It would be nice if today was longer." Xu Yang leaned his body to Lu Jing's side.

Yeah, if only a little longer. Lu Jing thought about it. There is much, much, much more to say, but not today.

"I'm here to deliver something." Lu Jing pulled her hand away from Xu Yang's, and she took out a blue mirror from her bosom.

"What is this?" Xu Yang observed. There were antique patterns on the edge of the mirror, which seemed to be flowing clouds and auspiciousness, which was particularly eye-catching.

"A communication medium." Lu Jing said.

Passing through the mirror, Xu Yang vaguely saw a distant figure sitting alone. It was an ancient image incarnated into a human body. The body was covered with scales in the color of jade and ebony. The intricate crown hung down with seven treasure tassels, extending to the back. At the bottom, although the eyes are closed tightly, the glare of molten gold is almost bursting out from them, and the body is full of eternal power.

Pan Yuan? ... the god of the ancient dragon, the god of the Longmen Mansion. Xu Yang secretly respected him.

"Pan Yuan will appear on the battlefield of the decisive battle, facing Di Ernai directly," Lu Jing said.

"Then thank you in advance." Xu Yang was pleasantly surprised. If Pan Yuan speaks out to help, the chances of winning the decisive battle may increase by 30%.

"It's because Princess Yaotang has a good impression of you, so I made a move." Lu Jing explained.

"Then we have to make a special trip to thank Princess Yaotang another day. This battle concerns the future of all of us, and all help is precious." Xu Yang said seriously.

"I'm afraid we have to seize the time to attack." Lu Jing turned his head and wiped off the reference defense icon on the strategic terminal, replacing it with a sharp red arrow, which reached the space carrier Tianguo.

The heart of the Ark Foundation, the final military headquarters of the Lighthouse Core.

"It is impossible to attack under such circumstances." Xu Yang thought this proposal was very risky.

The core of the lighthouse has just obtained incredible protection, and it should avoid its edge and rest the strength and morale of the coalition forces in the Eastern Hemisphere.

The troops in the Eastern Hemisphere have not had a full day of rest since their expedition. The soldiers are exhausted and their morale is depleted in every hard battle.

The Nisto company's people have fought bloody battles for six years, and they are still used to such decisive battles. However, the organization of the auxiliary forces of other companies, the second-line army composed of mercenaries, is declining day by day, and sooner or later there is a risk of rebellion and collapse.

Marching under such circumstances... Once Diernai finds an opportunity to counterattack, even the results of the current battle may be completely taken away.

Faroza's awakening is only one step away. If you want stability, you should strengthen the defense line and cherish the blood of soldiers.

"...Yes, but I'm afraid the enemy won't give us this chance." Hearing the sound of turbulence, Lu Jing raised his head and looked into the distance, where there was a river.

Suddenly, the river turned into blood.

The fish in it died, and the river was so foul-smelling that people could not drink the water.
